NAME

Net::Firewall::BlockerHelper::backends::firewalld - firewalld backend for Net::Firewall::BlockerHelper.

VERSION

Version 0.1.0

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Firewall::BlockerHelper;

my $fw_helper = Net::Firewall::BlockerHelper->new(
        backend => 'firewalld',
        ports => ['22'],
        protocols => ['tcp'],
        name => 'ssh',
    );

$fw_helper->init_backend;
$fw_helper->ban(ban => '1.2.3.4');
$fw_helper->unban(ban => '1.2.3.4');
$fw_helper->teardown;

DESCRIPTION

Blocks IPs on hosts managed by firewalld(1), where using the iptables backend directly would fight the daemon and be lost on reload.

Like the iptables backend, two ipsets are created via ipset(8), one for IPv4 (<prefix>_<name>_4) and one for IPv6 (<prefix>_<name>_6). The block rules are inserted through the firewalld direct interface (firewall-cmd --direct) into the configured chain (INPUT_direct by default). Banning an IP adds it to the relevant ipset.

Requires firewall-cmd and ipset to be installed and in the PATH of the process, which must have sufficient privileges to run them. firewalld must be running.

METHODS

new

Initiates the the object.

- options :: Backend specific options that will be passed to the backend unchecked
        outside of making sure it is a hash ref if defined. See below for furhter info.
    - Default :: {}

- ports :: A array of ports to block. Checked to make sure they are ints within the
        range 1 to 65535 or a valid service name via getservbyname. All ports will be
        blocked if non are specified. Duplicates are removed.
    - Default :: []

- protocols :: A array of protocols to block. This is checked against
        /etc/protocols via the function getprotobyname. Duplicates will be
        discarded. If no protocols are given, everything sourced from the
        sets is blocked, unless ports are given, in which case it defaults
        to tcp and udp. Ports are only attached to port-capable protocols
        (tcp/udp/sctp); other protocols are blocked without a port.
    - Default :: [], or ['tcp','udp'] when ports are given

- prefix :: Prefix to use. Must match the regex /^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/
    - default :: kur

- name :: Name of this specific instance. This must be specified.
    - default :: undef

The options hash accepts the following.

- type :: The drop method to use. Should either be 'drop' or 'reject'.
        'reject' sends an ICMP port-unreachable back.
    - Default :: drop

- chain :: The direct interface chain to add the rules to.
        Must match /^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+$/. Only the *_direct chains,
        such as the default, are called automatically by firewalld;
        a custom chain must already exist and be jumped to from
        somewhere in the ruleset or the rules will never be evaluated.
    - Default :: INPUT_direct

- kill :: Use conntrack(8) to drop existing connection tracking entries
        for the banned IP, for both IPv4 and IPv6. When protocols are
        configured the kill is scoped to them via -p, so blocking only
        udp will not drop tcp entries and vice versa; protocols conntrack
        can not filter by are skipped. With no protocols configured
        everything is being blocked, so entries of every protocol are
        dropped.
    - Default :: 0

All errors are considered fatal, meaning if new fails it will die.

init

Initiates the backend. Any stale direct rules and ipsets from a previous run are removed first, with failures ignored. Then the two ipsets are created via ipset create and the block rules are added to the configured chain via firewall-cmd --direct --add-rule.

$backend->init;

ban

Bans an IP. The value of ban is validated as being a IPv4 or IPv6 address and lowercased, then added to the relevant ipset via ipset add. If the kill option is set, conntrack(8) is used to drop existing connection tracking entries for the IP. Banning an already banned IP is a noop.

$backend->ban(ban => $ip);

unban

Unbans an IP. The value of ban is validated as being a IPv4 or IPv6 address and lowercased, then removed from the relevant ipset via ipset del. Unbanning an IP that is not banned is a noop.

$backend->unban(ban => $ip);

list

List banned IPs. Returns an array of the currently banned IPs.

my @banned = $backend->list;

re_init

Tells the backend to re-init it's self.

This will call teardown and init again. After that it will re-add all previously added bans via ipset add.

$backend->re_init;

teardown

Tears down the setup for the backend.

This will remove the direct rules and the ipsets.

$backend->teardown;

stop

Alias for "teardown", provided for parity with the fail2ban actionstop concept.

$backend->stop;

check

Verifies that firewalld is running, the ipsets are still present, and each of the direct rules is still in place. Returns a true value if the setup is intact and a false value if any part is missing. This is the equivalent of fail2ban's actioncheck.

if ( !$backend->check ) {
    $backend->re_init;
}

flush

Removes all currently banned IPs at once by flushing the ipsets, leaving the rules in place. This is the equivalent of fail2ban's actionflush.

$backend->flush;

ban_cidr

CIDR bans are not supported by this backend; this always sets the cidrNotSupported error.

$backend->ban_cidr(ban => '1.2.3.0/24');

unban_cidr

CIDR bans are not supported by this backend; this always sets the cidrNotSupported error.

$backend->unban_cidr(ban => '1.2.3.0/24');

list_cidr

CIDR bans are not supported by this backend, so this always returns an empty list.

my @banned_cidrs = $backend->list_cidr;

ERROR CODES / FLAGS

Error handling is provided by Error::Helper. All errors are considered fatal.

1, notInited

The backend has not been inited yet.

2, invalidPortSpecified

Port is either not an int within the range 1 to 65535 or a name that can be resolved by getservbyname.

3, portsNotArray

The data passed to new for ports is not an array.

4, protocolsNotArray

The data passed to new for protocols is not an array.

5, invalidPortSpecified

Port is either not an int within the range 1 to 65535 or a name that can be resolved by getservbyname.

6, invalidPrefixSpecified

The specified prefix did not match /^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/.

7, invalidName

The name is either undef or does not match /^[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+$/.

8, optionsNotHash

The item passed to new for options is not a hash.

9, noBanItem

No IP specified to ban or unban.

10, banItemNotIP

The item to ban is not an IP. Either wrong ref type or regexp test using Regexp::IPv4 and Regexp::IPv6 failed.

12, backendInitError

Failed to init the backend.

13, banFailed

Failed to unban the item.

15, listFailed

17, teardownFailed

Failed to teardown the backend.

18, alreadyInited

init called, but the backend has already been inited.

19, chainInvalid

The option chain does not match /^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+$/.

20, typeInvalid

The option type is either a ref or not "drop" or "reject".

21, nameTooLong

The combined prefix and name is longer than 29 characters, leaving no room for the _4/_6 suffix within the 31 character ipset name limit.

23, initFailed

Init failed. A command run during init exited non-zero.

24, checkFailed

The backend check raised an error.

25, flushFailed

Failed to flush the bans.
